Fire Fighters

My firefighter series was painted the winter of 2001, months before the firefighters of 9/11 lost their lives trying to save others from the inferno and collapsing of the World Trade Center. There probably isn’t another group of civil servants who consistently put their life and their health in harms way. The tragedy of 9/11 made American citizens lamentably aware of this. This is my tribute to those unsung heroes, who don’t ask for your praise and are always ready to go, no matter where it takes them, when the bell rings.
